Drivers Own the Platform
Members hold a real ownership stake in the cooperative and help shape the platform they operate.
Driven by drivers. Powered by community.
Philadelphia's driver-owned economic engine.
PaDC is building a rideshare cooperative where Philadelphia drivers own the platform, set the terms, and share in the value they create.

The model
A better rideshare model, built as community infrastructure.
Worker-owned cooperatives are a proven engine for shared ownership. PaDC applies that model to transportation so drivers govern the platform and keep more value in Philadelphia.
Democratic Governance
Members vote on major decisions, policies, leadership, and priorities. One member, one vote.
Wealth Stays Local
Surpluses can return to driver-members instead of being extracted to distant shareholders.
